That video would win comedy gold at the olympics. I loved the ending so much I choked on my drink laughing. The instant beard for Matt, the reference to the women's beard growing competition, and the final line where he thanks his "totally non-fake" beard are the three best jokes, and all made rewind the video multiple times.

Am I not the only person who thinks they filmed this in reverse, gradually shaving more off each time, rather than growing the beards out over the course of several days? I could be wrong of course, but I would've thought that would have been the easiest way to do it?

I was half expecting something to do with Tim's beard growing and the referee winning the competition. As it was though, it was still awesome. I only expected a different twist than there actually was. Graham did great on the commentating and the new face of A9 is looking good!

Yeah, I can't tell if these guys are trollin' or not. I wouldn't put it past the Escapees to seriously think they filmed it over the course of weeks, though.

Anyway. SO GOOD. Just. . . so good. I thought the joke with Matt was that he's so bad at growing facial hair, even his characters can't do it. But the real joke made me actually lol. And the expressions on everyone's faces. . . wow. Well done all around, guys, well done.

I personally thought Canada was going to get its second gold medal of the Vancouver games. Nice to see that other nations get a look in. Beard Growing is definitely a Winter Olympics discipline and I figure Matt's norse bloodline allowed him to spout one so quickly. *Cough, cough*

Seriously though: Well written, well acted, well edited and very funny.LRR delivers us away from Monday Blues yet again
